💡 How will Artificial Intelligence reshape our jobs, the economy, and our society? What are the risks of widespread labor displacement, and what are the opportunities for unprecedented productive synergy? How can we design policies to navigate this transformation and ensure AI benefits all of humanity?
🌱 Newcomers are especially welcome!
Join us for a presentation by Jacob Schaal (Research Manager at Cambridge ERA) as he breaks down one of the most pressing topics of our time: AI and the Future of Work.
During this friendly, jargon-free presentation, we’ll cover:
- 🧭 Current Evidence: What do studies today show about generative AI's impact on productivity, wages, and job quality?
